Yoko Ono 'initially resisted dance remixes'

Yoko Ono has revealed that she had trepidations about allowing several of her most famous songs be remixed by dance music producers.

The singer recently scored her sixth straight No.1 US dance hit with a revamped version of 'Move On Fast', which she first recorded for the 1972 album Approximately Infinite Universe.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Ono admitted that she initially disapproved of updating songs like 'Give Me Something' and 'No, No, No'.

"At first I was prejudiced against the idea," she remarked. "I had the pride of a rocker. People can get very elitist very quickly, and that's how I was."

The musician went on to claim that eventually permitting artists including Basement Jaxx and Pet Shop Boys to revisit her past singles proved to be emotionally satisfying.

She added: "When I first heard the songs I cried they was so beautiful… I was so dumb to be against it. Musically, it was as very, very rich experience for me to hear it."

Ono's last studio album of original material, Between My Head And The Sky, was released in 2009.
